There are people out there so utterly brain-broken (myself included) who seek to monetize every little personal hobby. “Maybe I should start journaling” turns into “How can I be a thought leader on bleeping journaling?” And it ruins every

> So would I pay the money for it? Fear on this level seems like a pretty poor use of $12,000 or $199 a month. You can rent a horror movie for $2.99, and paying attention to America is free. I like the way the author writes this. Interes

yes, you’re making my point. The companies that excel at this technology are the same ones that are dominating the general computing space. Edit: but point taken, we could go down the rabbit hole forever. Definitely not as cut and dry as I

Playing devil's advocate here... university systems feel like a great place to poke around recklessly like this. Especially when presented publicly. Any holes in the system that enabled such ease of abuse should be patched up. I don&#x

I was struggling to put words to my thoughts here, but you nailed it. It doesn’t make sense to engage in a public spat with someone who has such a negative reputation. Staying silent would have made more sense. Posting it publicly is an odd

Agreed. For all the talk about “AI can make you more efficient,” which it has, in my personal experience, there should be no excuse for worldwide standardization of 4 days over 5 days.

Do you remember Tay? You don't have to have "far left DEI policies" to want to defend against worst case scenario as strongly as possible. Even if, in the case of this image weirdness, it works against you. Google has so much

This was a really fun read. I’ve only read a couple short stories ever that so narrowly focus on the technology of today, but I think it’s great. Such an effective and entertaining way of discussing what’s in the news cycle.

I agree with a lot of what the author is saying here. If it matters, whatever it is, don’t use AI to directly generate it . There is one great use of ChatGPT that I don’t think violates any of the author’s principles. When you’re trying

You're right, thanks for clarifying. I misread it as having some causation.

There's a large disconnect between this article's title and content. Nothing within describes anything specific about the Vision Pro that "turns developers away" apart from selling way less units than other Apple product

So glad to see your parent comment and this one - that was my first thought - sent me on a 5 second check to see if NeoCities was alive and well - obviously is. Love it!

This made me laugh. It's very wrong. Unless I'm dumb, the answer we're looking for should be 1. Sounds like the confidence of Gemini worked on you, though.

Since the Maker Suite doesn't have the same prompting as something like Bard or ChatGPT, I gave Gemini Pro a bit more context: > Consider the following user chat. Reason out loud as needed to provide a reasonable response. User mess
